Twilight

TWILIGHT


When the twilight of your years is here
And the sky is only starlit
Think only this of one who loved you dear
How many times I used to sit

And read you tales of times gone by
Or show you clouds as dale and hill 
The limit was beyond the sky
The empty void was yours to fill

Did you fill it with all your heart
And not regret the chance you took?
If you did, though heaven falls apart,
Life’s evening closes not the book.

KC!...my heart skips.., the imagery is amazing and flowing..i was looking for something to highlight but cannot find one thing that falls short of another... this is perfectly conducted; it carries a clear scene with a natural float of romance.. a good pieceto read aloud. and of course, great write... come visit my " ancient place" and grill it, lol. :) huggs!
